Private Driver in Morocco

A car and driver that are yours for the whole trip

Hiring a private driver is one of the easiest ways to see Morocco at your own speed. Tell us where you'd like to go, or send the itinerary you've already planned. Your driver collects you each morning, follows your plan, waits while you explore and gets you to the next stop safely. You never share the vehicle with other travellers.

The service is run by Ismail, who managed riads in Marrakesh before starting it, so you deal directly with someone who knows the country and what travellers need. Read more about Ismail, or see what travellers say on Tripadvisor.

What's included

• A private, air-conditioned vehicle for your agreed route
• A licensed driver who can share local tips along the way
• Pick-up and drop-off at your riad, hotel or airport, as close as a car can reach
• Stops for photos, mint tea, lunch or anything that catches your eye
• Child seats on request

We can also arrange riads, desert camps, licensed guides and activities through trusted local partners, or simply drive around the bookings you've already made.

Private driver or rental car?

A rental car can suit confident drivers on simple routes. Many of Morocco's best journeys, though, cross mountain passes and long desert roads, and most old medinas can't be entered by car, so parking and directions can take up a lot of your day. With a driver, you can watch the scenery, stop when you like and arrive rested.

Questions about hiring a private driver in Morocco

How much does a private driver in Morocco cost?

Every trip is quoted individually, because the price depends on the route, the number of days and the size of your group. Send us your plans and we'll reply with a clear price for your private car and driver before anything is booked.

Can I follow my own itinerary?

Yes. That's what we do best. Send us your route, from a single transfer to a two-week road trip, and we provide the car and the driver for every day of it.

Do I have to start in Marrakesh?

No. We're based in Marrakesh, but your driver can start from any city, and your route can finish somewhere different from where it began.

Is the driver licensed?

Yes. You travel with a licensed driver in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.

Can I choose my driver's language?

Yes. Tell us your preferred language when you enquire, and we'll confirm your driver's language before you book. If we can't offer it, we'll tell you before anything is booked.

Is the driver also a guide?

Your driver drives and can share local tips along the way. For guided visits of medinas and monuments, we can arrange licensed local guides.

Can you provide child seats?

Yes, child seats can be arranged. Just tell us your children's ages when you enquire.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your pick-up time. Services we book for you with partners, such as riads or desert camps, follow those partners' own cancellation terms, which we share before you confirm.
